defective

Defective app can’t stream due to clunky stream key and poor url detection. Absolutely written by a potato

Paywalled Garbo

Pay up or face a big watermark lol what a joke

O app é muito bom!! Muito completo não sei se tem sistema de replay que eu preciso para transmissão! Mas é uso e recomendo app excelente quase perfeito. Quando adicionar replay no aplicativo vai ficar bem melhor ao vivo e vídeos ao vivo de propagandas vai ficar mais perfeito! Excelente app parabéns aos idealizadores.

Ridiculous

Having to pay a monthly subscription to stream to your personal server is pure greed.

Через rtm не работает

Я стример больше 4лет после того как одна программа стала платная решил посмотреть эту программу) с меня за месяц сняли 1000 рублей в итоге картинка хуже чем в призме, хдр не работает, после часа стрима трансляция перестала работать, попробовал через стримить через сервис стреam vi постоянно вылетает. Стримил через rtm ссылку. На ютубе 21к подписчиков все просто смеялись вчера от таких танцев с бубнами. У меня вопрос за что такие деньги вы берете? На вашем ютуб канале непонятные гайды попробовал найти других блогеров и гайды по вашей программе их просто нет 😂 для простых стримеров как я с ютуба не рекомендую эту программу

Solid Streaming App

As someone who works with multi-million dollar streaming encoders for a living, I have to say that this app was fantastic. I had a small wedding to stream over the weekend for a friend of mine so I decided to try this app. I got a month subscription, plugged in an external audio interface (Scarlett 2i2) and ran the stream with great picture and amazing audio. Paired it with a solid fluid head tripod and a MagSafe tripod mount and it was a dream setup.

I do want to add that I had poor service where I was, around 2 Mbps upload over cellular on all three carriers and no WiFi. This caused a few dropouts but nothing the app could’ve done differently. I recorded a continuous high bit rate version for the family to share. This was a life saver!

Broadcasting to rtmp

With WiFi conning to my local host, rtml still drops out its connection. No errors.

Thx for app

"Larix Broadcaster is a free mobile broadcasting software for iOS…" - that's what the official website claims. But unfortunately, that's only half the truth. The full truth? Want to stream? Want to stream without the 60-minute limit? Then pay up. It really used to be completely free before.

All payments support our development team to keep the app the best in its class. Feel free to support us any time by subscribing.

Ridiculous Pricing

I have no issue with paying for good software, I even prefer it over the freemium / ad method. But for what this app does it’s hard to justify the cost. The watermark covers the entire screen and the time limit basically makes this a demo app unless you pay $10/mo or $120/year. Those are the only options.

Would be great if the dev introduced a more limited feature set for people that simply need a singular feature. I’d happily even pay an annual subscription at a more reasonable price to unlock non-watermarked RTMP streaming without a time limit.

PRISM LIVE isn’t as feature rich but it’s very reliable and you get a usable RTMP streamer at no cost with only a very tiny watermark in the corner and no time limit.

Doesn’t seem usable as rtsp streamer.

When using as rtsp streamer, should take ip of phone. Doesn’t seem setup correctly for this. Other more basic apps work with 1 click. This is all I needed maye app simply isn’t for me.

Awful

This company screwed its customers by taking a free application and then making it a monthly fee. They jumped from the best option, to the absolute worst option. I don’t mind if they make this app a one time purchase, I’d even be willing to spend $100 on it. But I’m not paying a monthly fee just to possess an app. They don’t provide any monthly service, you have to provide your own details into the app. So they are literally collecting free money every month.

Was great, but I think I’m done with it

Seemed to be reliable and fully featured. Then then started charging $10/m or $120/yr and even though I paid, I get a stupid red text warning overlaid on the video saying I need a subscription. How ridiculous. Need to get a refund then move on

Очень жаль, что нельзя использовать в фоновом режиме для IOS

Response from developer

К сожалению, это ограничение платформы в нашем случае.

Over priced

Was looking to stream my kids ball games but $10/month for a couple games is way to much for how much I use it. Needs to be cheaper or have a lifetime license. There isn’t a lot of updates to the app so it’s just greed at this point.

Wish video stabilization mode worked

Love this broadcaster but if there were two things I wish it had… video stabilization that worked. Lots of settings but none work. Also wish there was a feedback mechanism in app vs having to go write a review with feedback for an app I pay monthly for. :)

Works but keep an eye on your stream

This app works great and has great customization features. Especially in regards to quality for low bandwidth environments.

My only issue is the auto focus, the app will auto focus every other second and you can see it on the app and on the stream. If you change lenses, it’ll help a little but if you do it while transmitting then the audio encoder will crash and make everything sound like chipmunks. If these issues didn’t exist, I’d give 5 stars.

Getting worse and worse… Been using the app for over a year

UPDATE: I did update to your new version from 2 days ago, and the rotation bug is NOT fixed for overlays on PREVIEW, which I use extensively to read live chat and alerts! Its still upside down on preview and only right side up on the live end feed. Please test your product because its frustrating having to pay subscription for the product and be your QA as well. I use the software 5 days a week and this has been broken for 2 versions now, I can now only broadcast without live rotation mode until this is fixed… very frustrated.

Had no problem with paying monthly fee except now there are more bugs than ever!! Latest bug makes overlays upside down when using live rotation mode, is there anyone even testing this app before releasing new versions? Not to mention it now crashes freq and does not support srtla … it was a good app I will give it one more week to fix the upside down overlays before deleting and cancel my monthly sub.

Please upgrade Larix to the latest version, this issue has been fixed already, sorry for inconveniences.

Eh… subscriptions

I loved the app when it was free now that it has subscriptions with bugs that have been there since the beginning it sorta is disappointing to see. The bug that I been running into is while swapping between cameras it sometimes causes the application to drop all audio. If that was fixed possibly maybe I’d consider getting the subscription but until then I’ll see myself out. All I can ask is to please reconsider I get it is better to get paid for your work but at least fix the bugs before you decide to make it a paid product.
